Pratyusha was ‘murdered’, public prosecutor

The investigation into the death of television actor Pratyusha Banerjee has indicated that she was murdered, the public prosecutor said on Monday.

During a hearing on Monday, the public prosecutor also claimed that Banerjee had told boyfriend and television producer Rahul Raj Singh during her last call with him that she would take her life. She was earlier believed to have committed suicide. Meanwhile, the Mumbai High Court on Monday granted Singh anticipatory bail after he was booked for Sections 306 (abetment of suicide), 351 (assault) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC on April 5. During Monday’s hearing on Banerjee's death case, Justice Mridula Bhatkar of the Mumbai High Court decided to hear three-minute recording of her last call with Rahul Raj Singh.
